Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the most iconic views of the Swiss Alpine peaks followed by a stunning descent along the Adriatic coast and the Gargano Peninsula before landing.

Swiss Alps Panorama
Unrivaled views of the Bernese Oberland, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.
Lake Garda
As the flight crosses Northern Italy, look down for the elongated deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake.
Gargano National Park
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring lush green forests surrounded by the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Puglian Coastline
Crystal clear coastal waters and rocky coves as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into Bari.
Sit on the left for a morning flight to avoid direct glare while viewing the Alps. The approach into Bari often banks over the sea, providing a perfect view of the historic 'Barivecchia' district and the harbor just before touchdown.

Mont Blanc
Depending on the specific airway, the highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in the distance to the southwest.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva are frequently visible during the transition from France to Switzerland.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone 'spine' of Italy provides a dramatic landscape of deep valleys and high plateaus.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the Italian interior and distant glimpses of the Tyrrhenian Sea on exceptionally clear days.
The right side is excellent for sunset flights, as the light hits the Apennine mountains and the Alps with a warm glow. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the southbound journey, so keep the window shade handy.
